That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, See also: Jeremiah 27:1Joshua 9:3Jeremiah 37:13“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. See also: Jeremiah 27:2-12Ezekiel 13:5-16Micah 3:11Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. See also: 2 Kings 24:13Daniel 1:22 Chronicles 36:10I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’” See also: Jeremiah 22:24Jeremiah 28:22 Kings 25:27-30Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the LORD’s house, See also: Jeremiah 28:1Jeremiah 7:2Jeremiah 19:14even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place. See also: Psalms 41:131 Kings 1:36Jeremiah 11:5Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people: See also: 1 Kings 22:28The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence. See also: Deuteronomy 4:26-271 Kings 17:11 Kings 22:8As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.” See also: Deuteronomy 18:22Jeremiah 6:14Ezekiel 13:10-16Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it. See also: Jeremiah 27:2Jeremiah 28:21 Kings 22:11Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way. See also: 2 Chronicles 18:22-23Proverbs 14:7Jeremiah 14:14Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, See also: Jeremiah 1:2Daniel 9:2Jeremiah 29:30“Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.” See also: Psalms 149:8Lamentations 2:14Jeremiah 27:15For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’” See also: Deuteronomy 28:48Jeremiah 27:6-7Deuteronomy 4:20Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. See also: Jeremiah 14:14-15Jeremiah 27:15Jeremiah 23:21Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’” See also: Jeremiah 29:32Genesis 7:4Deuteronomy 6:15So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. See also: Zechariah 1:6Isaiah 44:25-26

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).

Jeremiah 28:1
Ver. 1. Juda. So far Sanctius joins with the former chapter, improperly. In the 4th year, seems rather an interpolation; though the Sept. omit in the beginning,
&c. to reconcile the passage; and others date the 4th year from the last sabbatical one, which is quite unusual. See C. xxvii. 1. C.
--- Sedecias reigned 11 years, so that the 4th might be said to be the beginning. W. --- Prophet.
Sept. "false prophet," to explain the meaning: the original denotes any prophet. S. Jer. H.
↑ 1Jeremiah 28:3
Ver. 3. Years. Some were brought back in the 4th of Sedecias; (C. xxvii. 16. H.) so that this must be false, whether he spoke in the 1st or 4th year of his reign.
C.
↑ 3Jeremiah 28:6
Ver. 6. Do. Heb. also, "will do." He speaks ironically; or shews that he wishes not the misfortune of his countrymen. C. --- He approves of the good thing, but warns his people that is is falsely promised. W.
↑ 6Jeremiah 28:9
Ver. 9. Truth. This criterion was given by Moses; and another was assigned in case the prophet attempted to introduce idolatry, which was not here the case.
Deut. xiii. and xviii. 20. C.
↑ 9Jeremiah 28:10
Ver. 10. Chain, or wooden yoke. C. xxvii. 2. H.
↑ 10Jeremiah 28:12
Ver. 12. Way, mildly. God inspired him what to say soon after.
↑ 12Jeremiah 28:13
This 19th-century note uses polemical language; read it in the light of the note at the top of this panel.
Ver. 13. Iron. Deut. xxviii. 48. The rashness of Hananias brought a heavier punishment on his admirers, which is the lot of all who follow heresiarchs. H.
↑ 13Jeremiah 28:17
Ver. 17. Seventh month. He had spoken in the 5th of the sacred year. v. 1. C.
